@@dreamer_4937 Karajan and Toscanini would've kicked them out of the rehearsal, and had them fired. They were no nonsense conductors focused entirely on the purity of the music anything that would've distracted from their vision of whatever piece (in this case, this one) would be seen as utterly disrespectful not only to their fellow musicians and to themselves, but to the composer as well. Nothing mattered more to them then the music, not egos not 'pranks' - nothing. And nothing would get in their way of getting what they wanted out of the orchestra. In all likelihood hood they'd both have walked out of the room as well for the sheer disrespect being shown. Nowadays, this kind of thing is played off as fun etc, but not in their eras.
